Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 pork chops
Breading and Coating:
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ½ cup flour
- 1 egg
- ½ cup milk
Seasonings and Gravy Components:
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 375F and grab your seasoning. Sprinkle salt and pepper generously over each pork chop.
- Create three separate shallow dishes: one with ½ cup flour, another with 1 beaten egg and ½ cup milk mixed together, and the last with 1 cup breadcrumbs.
- Coat each pork chop by first rolling it in flour, then dipping it into the egg mixture, and finally covering it completely with breadcrumbs.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the breaded chops into the hot pan.
- Sear each side of the pork chops for 3-4 minutes until they turn golden brown and develop a crispy exterior.
- Transfer the browned chops to a baking dish. Slide the dish into the 375F oven and bake for 20 minutes to ensure they’re fully cooked through.
- In the same skillet, pour 2 cups beef broth and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Scrape up any delicious browned bits from the bottom.
- Whisk 2 tablespoons cornstarch with a small amount of water until smooth. Pour this mixture into the simmering broth.
- Stir the gravy continuously until it thickens and becomes glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the pork chops from the oven and drizzle the rich gravy directly over the top before serving.
Notes
- Use thick-cut pork chops for the juiciest results, as thinner cuts can dry out quickly during cooking.
- Toast breadcrumbs in a dry pan before coating to create extra crunch and depth of flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, swap wheat flour and breadcrumbs with almond flour and gluten-free panko.
- Let pork chops rest for 5 minutes after baking to help retain moisture and make the meat more tender.
